Adelante Abroad

Montevideo is a small and relaxed city, but not knowing anyone when I landed was definitely anxiety-inducing. However, my host family showed me around the city, and it was great to know that I could overcome things that once scared me! Everyone in Montevideo is incredibly kind, and multiple people were happy to reach out and offer help if I should need it. There were many trials and error such as getting a bus card in Spanish, learning how to ride the actual bus, navigating the 20 floor hospital I interned in, simply crossing the street, and learning the names of groceries in another language. At times it was difficult, but going outside of my comfort zone is what helped me to grow my confidence in myself knowing that I was able to accomplish these small but necessary daily tasks in another country.

This program in Seville was an incredibly rewarding experience, with the clinical component being one of its greatest strengths. Having the opportunity to gain clinical exposure in an international setting added a unique and meaningful dimension to my time abroad. Observing healthcare delivery in a different system and cultural context challenged my assumptions and helped me develop a broader, more patient-centered perspective on medicine. The support provided throughout the program was excellent. The staff and clinical providers were approachable, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure the experience was both educational and smooth. Their guidance allowed me to focus on learning and professional growth while adapting to a new environment. Combined with strong cultural immersion and academic structure, this program offered a well-rounded and impactful experience that I would highly recommend to students seeking international clinical exposure.

Adelante gave me the incredible opportunity to work with industry professionals in my field. I worked directly with professionals in my field and was fortunate enough to get to work with my first choice company. I was also able to make friends with all of my roommates and other's I met through networking around Madrid.
